Citizen unveils new stainless-steel Eco-Drive chronograph with black tachymeter bezel

Citizen has listed a new chronograph on its UK website. The CA4714-55A secures a silver-tone dial with a black tachymeter bezel, and costs £369 (~$489). Citizen UK files it under its "Classic collection" and calls it the Racing Chronograph.

The reference is new, even if the watch isn't. Citizen brought the CA4714 series to Europe back in January, with three watches: a cream dial on leather, a black dial on a bracelet, and a second black dial on a leather strap. This silver-tone version doesn't show up on Citizen's European site, or at the Dutch and German retailers that stock the rest of the family. Citizen UK looks to be the only place selling it.

The layout is what one would expect from a chronograph at this price. Three sub-dials sit on the dial, with a date window tucked between 4 and 5 o'clock, and the chronograph seconds hand is red to match the red accents on the pushers. The case is stainless-steel and measures 39.9 mm wide and 12.3 mm thick, though interestingly, Citizen UK rounds it down to 39 mm on its spec panel. The crystal is mineral glass, the case back screws down, and water resistance is rated at 100m.

The CA4714-55A is powered by Citizen's very own B620 Eco-Drive. It charges from light, holds 270 days of reserve on a full charge, and is rated at ±15 seconds a month. The chronograph measures up to 60 minutes in 1/5-second steps, and there's a 24-hour sub-dial and a battery discharge indicator too.

For reference, the black-dial CA4714-55E launched in Europe at €269 in January. Subtract the tax out of both, and the UK price works out about 61% higher, or roughly $407 against $253.
